bonding with baby

[reb1006]

I just found out yesterday I'm having a baby girl, were naming her Willow Ruth and im sooooo in love!! I feel her move but no kicks or anything yet just flutters and popping . I can't wait to feel her kick me! And I want to bond with her but I feel awkward just talking idk what to say or do. What do you ladies do to bond with your babies? And how do you get them to move more? Need ideas :))

How soon can they hear you talking to them? like if me and my hubby were to read to him or her so he or she can start to know our voices

I just have regular convos like he's already here lol. I touch my stomach every time so he knows I'm taking to him lol. It's weird but I love it lol

Love the name :) and I try but my lil one is hard headed already haha every time my peanut moves and I put my hand on my tummy he/she stops haha so im lucky if I ever get to feel it with my hands but he/she definitely kicks already!  And I cant drink or eat anything to make him or her move it wont work lol

I was the same way at first it took several months but you really just got jump into it. Now being due in three days I talk to him like he's already here my bf took even longer you know how guys can be but after six or so months even my bf is now comfortable talking to him joking with him about things like oh your mommas being lazy today and I'll joke about how silly daddy is and just make it enjoyable so that when she arrives it will be that much easier to bond with her. I didn't read really but I sang along to my fav tunes to him. It takes some time tho but you'll get there :) congrats!!
